The season is now at hand when the pfoneer
81 years of age gets up early i'll the morning.
tghtens his belt by two notches, and walks
into the harvest field to show the bows how it
used to be done in olden times. After gazing
for few minutes with contempt at the
reaper and binder, he picks up his old fash
Toned cradle and sails in to cut seven acres
before shutdown. Seven acres is his lightest
days work. Take him the county over he'll
average about nine an he won't sweat a hair
until afternoon. 1t will be all that three
binders can do to keep up with him, and now
and then he'll stop to turn back handspring
and lay some young fellow on the broad of
his back
When the old pioneer has finished his nine
acres he comes up smiling, leads the crowd to
supper, and then challenges the best man to
boxing match or foot face
He appears regularly every harvest, and
this will be no exception. He is never less
than 80, and seldom over 90, and the state
ment always follows that he has shaken
hands with every president since Washington,
and was a playmate of the Indian chief,

her husband couldn't pass civil service ex-

that he would have wanted divorce from her.

not thought of the dread massacre at
the Haymarket, the four prepared for
their march toward the gallOwS almost
as if it were pleasant holiday excur,
sion. Extraordinary as were the scenes
presented at this moment, it was not till
the first man stepped out upon the gal
lows that the great climax came. The
two hundred and more writer's, with
nimble fingers, waiting to spread the
news to the farthest bounds of the earth,
had almost to man been gathered in
the north corridor of the jail. There
for just an hour they were imprisoned
in front of
The Dull Red Scaffold.
Not many of the 200 present that
did not sit uneasily upon their chairs
thinking rapidly of the COM
ing doom of four fellow crea-
lures, or perhaps even more OF the vague
possibility of the Jail and all within it's
walls being blown to the blue sky by
anarchistic dynamite. The long hour
was not half completed when in the
jail's distant south corridor unseen and
unheard by the main body of the re-
p0rtefS Dlg SnerlH MatSOn at III .23 a. M,
accompanied by grim old Jailer FOz,
the manipulating Rev. DR.. Bolton, and
a score of Stalwart deputies stepped up
close to the door of August Spies cell,
preparatory to reading the death war
rant to the four condemned men.
Twenty minutes were occupied in this
trying ormality rendered dOubly an
ordeal by the horrible silence prevail
ing and by the sickening odors coming
from the room where lay the bloody
corpse of their cOmrade. Louis Lingg,
the suicide. Directly above in their
cell doors appeared the dark boards and
darker eyes of the two cOmmuted all
archstS, Sam Fielden and Schwab.
Sheriff Matson. with quick breath and
heart beating high, carried unsteadily
in his hand the documents ordering him
to carry out
The Sentence of the Law.
They were written on typewriter and
all duly attested. TIE huge iron door
swung back on its hinges and Spies
stepped firmly forward in front of his
guard to listen to the reading of the

soon ended. ROBBED in white. their
faces concealed from view by the all
covering white caps. wrists handcuffed
behind them. legs closely piniOned by
black straps, with voices virtually
stiticd, the four living anarchists
shouted forth their Gnal defiance, and
then, expiating their crime with all they
had to give. they illustrated in most sig
nal and significant manner the potency
of our country's law and its supremacy
over the vicious and vice. A careful
observer of the critical situation during
the past week and all impartial critic of
the conduct of the officials, state and
civic on whom the responsibility of this
final scene in the Haymarket tragedy

CHICAGO, Nov. 11.-More utter con-
tempt of death was probably never
shown by any four men. From the first
moments of the morning till the day
closed upon them they would not see a
shadow either of ignominy or the here
after. The seven hours from dawn until
the four passed to eternity were crowded
full with events stirring as day Of
battle. Beginning with fiat refusal in
the very teeth of death to accept word
of comfort from a reverend minister Of
religion. one of their number, Fischer,
sang to the Jail and'the world the song
of the French revolution, the famous
''MarSeilles." Then with seemingly

Was there any possibility of any other
is ne from such scene? Was thei e any
necessity to note that Mr.. Parse pulse
is now 120. now 100. now 60. and finally,
he is dead? Was there any legitimate
cause for those doctors To DO anything
under heavens. except to be there in
case of accident. of the breaking of the
rope, of the jerking off of a
head, or of some physical
disturbance for which the ordinary
sheriff w0uld be unable to provide?
Was scieace benefited i'll any way?
Was the law aided i'll any sense? Was
the community taught solitary thing?
Or were medical men in any way aided
and abetted in the calling they had
adopted fer their profession? 1t was a
scandal and an outrage, and none less 4
scandal because it is SO common, and
none the less an outrage because those
men were cOnvicts and condemned by
the law to suffer an ignOminiOus death
on the scatfOld. Well that tells the
whole story. Lingg already in his cOf
Tin knew nothing about the other collins
that were now brought in.- Eight
sturdy men aScended from the base
ment and bore one after the other four
cOffinS to the corridor. The unfOrtunateS,
now no longer the dread Scourge of a
peaceful people, We're lowered into their
respective boxes. The verdict of death
by hanging was announced by the cOrO-
ner'S jury. The distorted faces and
convulSed limbs were Strengthened into
semblance of humanity. the coffin lids
were screwed on. and the bodies awaited
yhe coming Of those to whom they now
legitimately belong. Chicago and the
state of Illinois. through their consti-
tuted authorities, have vindicated the
majesty of the law, and the judgment of
an unlocking people must be that all
things were done decently and III order.
And now. what lIaXt?
What always follows death?

Everybody waited and shivered.
Strange, wasn't it, that a universal de-
mand was felt, if not expressed, for
little for speedy movement. Time wore
on. Now and then bailitf would look
in. The imposing figure of venerable
priest appeared for moment and then
retired. The cat took her position on the
passageWay along the second tier
of the corridor. Through an open win
dow at the rear of the scaffOld, high on
the roof of an adjacent building. were
seen the policemen on whose shields the
sun occasionally sent its unfrequent
rays. Strange noises came from the
adjacent corridor. In whispers the re-
pOrters. the correspondents and the ad-
mitted few discussed the finding OF
mine under the Jail last night, and spec
ulated on what would have happened
had net the bombs been found in the
cell of Louis Lingg. A sudden hush
and the procession came. Four men
clad in white from head to foot; wrists
manacled in handouts were held behind
them: each attended by two of the
sheriff's men. First came Spies, Spies
the keen, cynical Hessian, lofty
in manner, very pale. his mouth
firmly closed, his chin in
the air and lordly strut as though he
felt and indicated "Who but L." Next
to him was Fischer, a tall. handsome

comrade. | was rather impressed with
the quiet dignity of Fischer. There was
nothing of the bravado IN his manner

sufficiency which made Spies so un-
pleasant to the ordinary OnlOOker, and
yet Fischer had the devil in him.

The Men Rose Betimes.

Spies had gone TO bed with his boots
on; in fact, he was entirely dressed.
The others paid a trifie more respect to
conventiOnality and readily obeyed the
summons to rise and clothe themselves.
Parsons was cranky. He was not to
blame for that; he was bern so and has

Among other inditings were orders Oh

were unprovided with a pass signed by

SPRING VALLEY, Nov. 11.-Harrison
Fogg, an old settler of Fillmore county,
living at Etna, Minn., went out to his
barn at II o'clock this morning, and moi
returning to dinner search was made
and he was found dead in the barn.
Heart disease was probably the cause.
